Pros

Everyone fits in together like a second family. Everyone has their place in the store. There's enough drama to keep it from being boring, but not enough to make someone go crazy. The people that end up quiting, don't belong, but you know who's going to stick around for awhile once they're hired. It's a very friendly environment and everyone works together as a team. Any task that one has to do that isn't "fun" can be made fun. Counting cigarettes, scanning outs, and scanning in the truck becomes fun. The routine is wonderful. Waking up early to come to work is not a chore.

Cons

There aren't enough stores in my area for me to advance as soon as possible. Sometimes customers can become very irate and argumentative over coupons. We run out of things too fast, customers expect us to be a Walmart sometimes.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
